Nintendo definitively clears up Mario’s love life by having Princess Peach friend-zone him

by

Following numerous years of saving Princess Peach, it seems that Mario’s efforts fall short as she appears to desire more than just his companionship. Nintendo has provided a definitive explanation of their relationship by positioning Mario firmly within the friend zone.

For more than 40 years, Mario has consistently taken on perilous missions to save Princess Peach from Bowser’s repeated attempts to capture her. Approximately twice a month, Bowser devises a new scheme to snatch the beautiful princess, and it falls upon our fearless Italian plumber to carry out the rescue.

Over countless primary series games, side stories, films, and various other mediums, I’ve followed the intertwining journey of Mario and Princess Peach. While their connection has often been portrayed as platonic, there have been instances where it seems to carry a hint of romantic tension.

After so many long years filled with distress for the iconic figure with a mustache, Nintendo has finally put an end to his hopes. In other words, Mario’s relationship status with Princess Peach has been formally changed to “just friends.

Via the Nintendo Today app, this cherished gaming company frequently shares fresh updates, keeping enthusiasts informed about the most recent hardware and software releases. In addition to major announcements, the app sometimes reveals interesting facts as well – some well-known, others lesser-known – concerning significant game characters.

According to a recent post on X by ‘KirPinkFury’, the Nintendo Today app has clarified that there is no romantic relationship between Mario and Princess Peach.

Peach, the princess, and Mario have a strong friendship, always ready to lend a helping hand whenever necessary.

I’m feeling it too, that ominous ticking sound – it’s Mario’s life meter swiftly draining, a heartbreak echoed a hundredfold.

Absolutely, they never officially got married, and this is all in good humor. However, it’s undeniable that Nintendo has subtly incorporated romantic themes into their creations throughout the years.

According to GamesRadar’s findings, they were once called “the cutest couple” in Mario Party 5 for the GameCube. In fact, as recent as Super Mario Odyssey, Mario can be seen proposing to the Princess, an offer she politely declines.

Try as he might, Mario has never quite been able to rescue Peach’s heart.
